WOMAN'S CAPABILITIES.

Men, from the large Ego, doubt
less implanted in them for useful
purposes, have tendency to see
things solely from their own point
of view, and to Judge things, not as
they are, but as the world will look
at them, with reference to their in
dividual selves. Their sense Of
order, their power and inclination
to take trouble, are rarely equal to
woman's. Her very narrowness
makes her more conscientious and
reliable in matters Of minute de-
tail. A mans horizon is wider, his
vision larger, his physical and in
te444leecttdaatt strength generally greater
than a woman's; but he is as rule
less prudent, less careful, less able
to throw himself out Of himself,
and into the interest Of other peo-
pie, than a woman is. Granted a
capable woman, and one that has
had even 1.-THE Of the practical
education that all men have or are
supposed to have, she will do a
matter ef business, say an execu-
torship, secretaryship, etc., as we'll
as any man, or even better than
most men, because she will take
more pains. Did girls get from
childhood the same business train
ing as boys, and we're it clearly un-
derstood in all families that tits
not credit but discredit for
women to be idle, to hang helpless
on the men instead of doing their
own work, and, if necessary, earn
ing their own living, I believe So
ciety would be not the worse but
the better for the change. Men
would find out that the more they
elevate women the greater use they
get out Of them. If, instead Of a
man working himself to death for
his unmarried daughters, and then
leaving them ANONYMOUSLY de-
pendent upon male relations, he
/ educated them to independence,
made them able both to maintain
and to protect themselves: it would
save him and them a world of un-
happiness. They would cease to
be either the rivals-a very hope
less rivalry-or the playthlngs first
and then the slaves Of men, and be-
come, as was originally intended,
their co-mates, equal and yet diff
ferent, each sex supplying the
others deficiencies, and therefore
fitted to work together, not apart,
for the good Of the world.-7he

Sir John Lubbock has succeeded
in teaching a black poodle dog "a
little light reading" He took
pieces of cardboard and painted on
them the words ''food," ''out, "
"bone," "tea,'' and so on. Then
by associating food in the animals S
mind with card bearing that
word. Again, when asked if he
wanted to 60 out, he fshed "out''
the card bearing that word, and SC
forth. The teaching took a long
time, and though, to a large extent
futile, it shows what may be done
with some dogs by proper methods
of training.-CasseM

The Mice Skin Market.

The story goes that the fur runner has one
section OF Maine in which his appearance on
a fur buying trip is an event. About every
body sells to him, and he hasn't made many
mistakes in bis buying. He cultivates this
section. Hesaves his best jokes and his funniest
stories for this locality. Hence his grip is
good and he don't want 10 lose it.
1t was after a successful expedition into
this section recently that the fur runner fell a
talking. Now, there is danger when a man
falls talking, and on this day in question
the peltry king told yarns and talked about
furs and how money could be made and lost
in them. Said be to the listeners: why don't

Among circus and theatrical people an
admission ticket is called 'squidge,'" said q
man at Forepaugh's circus last week "The
origin Of this expression goes back many
years. Along in the 60s negro boy applied
for admission at a circus in one of the south
ern towns. He had neither money nor tickets.
The doOrtender stopped the lad at the EN-
trance and told him that he could not get
into the tent unless he had money or its
equivalent. The poor boy ran crying to his
parents, who asked him why he was not at
the circus With q sob and face wet with
tears the lad blurted out that he couldn't get
in until he got some money or 'squidgulum )
The man at the tent door was very much
amused when the boys tale was told TO him,
and ever after that ticket has been known
among the boys as 'squidge' or 'squidgu-
lum. "-Chicago Herald
